Retirement is a unique journey for each of us. The thought that there’s a one-size-fits-all solution is a myth, but what if we told you there are certain universal truths that can guide every retiree? Dive deep in this episode, where we juxtapose the individuality of retirement plans with the foundational principles that remain consistent across the board.

We are excited to be joined by Chris Lester, ChFC®, RICP®, CCPS®, NSSA, CLTC®, president of Professional Planning Services in New Jersey. He has over 30 years of experience in the financial industry and we want to learn more about what he likes to provide to his clients on helping them stay retired. Chris will also take part in the Getting to Know questions, sound off on our quotes of the week, weigh in on the universal truths and answer some questions with us.

FEATURED QUOTE

It’s not necessarily about whether you will get sick or not really where I’ve started to take the focus of our conversations is who is going to suffer the consequences, because you don’t have a plan in place.
